Wow, you can really get sucked into all the enhancements that Flickr (and other online photo services) has to offer. I did not have the time (nor the patience) to plow through everything. A lot of it seems like fun, but more for the entertainment value than for library services ... with the exception, perhaps, of storytime which can be a visual medium in the library (actually, it is a visual medium). I could see using some of these photo enhancements to "spruce up" a storytime, be it something embedded in the body of the program or a flyer/craft/activity that is tied into storytime (of course, I must be a children's librarian, eh?). I could also see the merit in Tagnautica (mentioned on the webmonkey 10 Best Flickr Mashups). That seems like a deep tool for finding relevant images that students might perhaps want to include in a classroom presentation. Other than that, seems like all this Flickr and images stuff is for fun ... not that there's merit in fun!
Here's my image ... I call it "Warhol Daniel"

Warhol Daniel is awesome! I agree with your assessment of actually using some of these tools in the library. They just don't seem to fit, most of it seems best suited to social networking software as opposed to the work place. Who knows, we might use it yet!
I love your Warhol Daniel image! Clearly you delved deeper into this Thing than I did. I didn't find anything like this.
I like your picture!
